00:00 Browns took a beating from the Baltimore Ravens in week four to bring their
00:03 record to two and two. The biggest story of the game though was the fact that
00:07 Deshaun Watson did not play due to a shoulder injury that was affecting him
00:12 in practice all week. Deshaun was medically cleared to play, but during
00:16 warmups a couple hours before game time, he made the decision that he did not
00:21 feel ready to go. The Browns week five by ends up coming at a perfect time for
00:26 Deshaun Watson to work on healing his shoulder before the Browns face one of
00:30 the best defenses in the NFL in week six, the San Francisco 49ers. Losing your
00:36 starting quarterback just before game time is not an ideal situation for a
00:40 rookie QB and it was a lot of pressure on Dorian Thompson Robinson. Even though
00:45 the Ravens are extremely injured right now, division matchups against them are
00:49 always a battle. DTR really struggled in this game going 19 of 36 for 121 yards
00:56 and three interceptions. It didn't help that the running game really struggled
01:00 to get going without Nick Chubb and the Browns had to punt on eight of their 13
01:04 offensive possessions. Pierre Strong had one really nice 40-yard run in the
01:09 fourth quarter, but other than that the Browns had a net of 93 yards rushing in
01:14 this game. This was the biggest test of the season so far for the defense and
01:19 there were definitely some ups and downs on that side of the ball. There were a
01:23 lot of missed tackles throughout the game and the Ravens rushed for a total
01:26 of 131 yards. Throughout the first three weeks, the Browns only allowed 156 yards
01:32 rushing, so the Ravens were definitely able to expose some weaknesses on the
01:36 Browns defense. This will definitely need to get cleaned up during the bye week if
01:41 the Browns have any expectation of beating the San Francisco 49ers.
01:45 Otherwise, they will fall below 500 for the first time this season.
